WORKED ALL PARISH AWARD

Since the state of Louisiana is the only state in the USA that uses Parishes as its primary political subdivision (instead of counties) and Baton Rouge is the capital city of Louisiana, the Baton Rouge Amateur Radio Club sponsors the WORKED ALL PARISHES award certificate for qualified applicants.

Award certificate will be attractive and suitable for framing.

• Applicant must submit proof of contacts with all 64 Louisiana parishes. Photocopies of QSL cards are acceptable as long as they are legible with no alteration. QSL or photocopies must show the callsign of the station contacted, the parish where the contact was made, the time and date of the contact, and the band & emission used to make the contact. Cards will not be returned unless sufficient postage is included with the application.
• Contacts must be made on 160 through 10 meters. Any legal mode of emission may be used.
• Only direct contacts will be accepted.
• No contacts via repeater will be accepted; however, transponded satellite contacts will be accepted.
• Only contacts made on or after September 1, 1996 will count for this award.
• All contacts must be made by the same individual, using callsigns assigned to him/her. If multiple callsigns have been used, the applicant should state these and declare that they were assigned to him/her.
• A $2.00 fee should be submitted with the application to cover the cost of mailing the certificate. Additional fees for return postage of QSL cards should be included if return of the QSL cards is desired. These fees should be submitted in the form of check or money order only.
